This research was carried out to evaluate the floral biology of Ipomoea acuminata, I. batata, I. cairica and I. quamoclit in Maringá, state of Paraná. Anthesis period, stigma receptivity, viability of the pollen grains and medium height of the style and filament were analyzed during the blossom period of Ipomoea. Both I. quamoclit and I. potato had their flowers opening at 6:00 a.m. and their closing at 2:00 p....
This research was carried out to evaluate the pollination in siratro studying the anthesis period, pollen grain viability and seed production.
